Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker put family first this week, appearing side by side at their daughter Blaze’s birthday celebration even as reports confirmed their marriage is coming to an end. The longtime pair, whose relationship has been a fixture in entertainment headlines for more than a decade, reunited publicly just one day after news surfaced that Tucker had filed for divorce.
According to multiple entertainment outlets, the couple had already been living separately before the filing became public on November 24, marking the end of a nearly 12-year union. Despite the emotional weight of the moment, the two arrived at Blaze’s party with a united front, greeting guests, posing in photos, and celebrating their daughter’s 6 birthday with smiles and calm composure. Images shared by attendees showed Burruss and Tucker interacting respectfully, reinforcing their commitment to maintaining stability for their children.
Burruss and Tucker’s story began in 2011 on the set of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, where Tucker worked as a producer. Their connection quickly grew into a highly publicized romance, culminating in their 2014 wedding. Along with raising their daughter Blaze, the two have also co-parented Tucker’s daughter Kaela, who has frequently appeared alongside them at major family events.
The pair’s marriage became known not only for its presence on reality television but also for a string of successful collaborations. Burruss and Tucker built a shared professional empire that includes several ventures, most notably their Atlanta-based restaurant brand, Old Lady Gang. With divorce proceedings underway, questions remain about how these joint businesses will be handled moving forward. As of late November, no formal statements have been made about their professional plans or future arrangements.
For now, the couple appears focused on navigating the transition with respect and keeping family moments at the center. Their appearance together at Blaze’s celebration offered a rare glimpse of unity at a time marked by major personal change-and hinted that, despite the separation, both remain committed to prioritizing their children above all else.
